Summary

A two-minute fragment from a 2013 session recorded in Baia Mare / Siget, camera video track, beginning mid-conversation. Someone talks about a daughter who is a professor and a poet, and the languages she writes in. The transcript is thin and partly garbled, and the end of the fragment is unclear.

Stretches

00:00–02:01

A speaker mentions a modern daughter who is a professor and also a poet. The question of which language she writes poems in is put several times; the answers given are Romanian, perhaps Hebrew and perhaps English, and not Yiddish. The last lines are unclear, with some apparent Romanian or Hungarian words, and seem to be a remark about showing something, with an apology.
